New Physio Arrangements now in place

Following a recent meeting with all adult team managers the Committee have agreed to set new rules regarding payment of physio treatment. We have had to do this because of the high rise in physio visits which is costing the club an excessive amount which cannot e recouped through our insurers. We hope these new rules will be adhered to by all
Players and we thank managers for their co-operation.

Players will be entitled to reimbursement from the Club only if the following procedures are followed:
1. Player should consult team manager and / or medical officer
with team;
2. Player should only go to physio with approval of those mentioned
at 1. above;
3. Player attending physio must pay physio and obtain a receipt;
4. Player must return to manager who authorised physio and get receipts signed by that manager / medical officer;
5. Only then may the player give physio receipts to the club
treasurer for reimbursement – unsigned receipts will not be reimbursed;
6. Further trips to physio must be agreed with physio and team manager, not just physio; and
7. For longer term injuries that may require more than one or two physio treatments
the player must fill in an injury form that can be downloaded from link below. These should be submitted to Liam Sloan (Club Insurance Officer) as this expenditure may be reclaimed. Physio bill can only be reclaimed by the Club on foot of an injury claim form.

It should also be noted that players with old injuries do not automatically qualify for unlimited treatment for an indefinite period (in some cases players are attending physio years after injury claim was settled) The same procedure as above applies for players with old injuries and in such cases payment will only be made by the club if this can be reimbursed through insurance.

In all cases physio treatment will only be paid to current members and will not include any treatments received prior to membership being paid.


Our Insurance Officer Liam Sloan will be taking care of all player injury claims.
